This 1987 Seiko SQ REF: 5Y30-5E89 is a peculiar watch, not because of the style of the watch nor because of the movement, but rather because of a simple word ‘Sample’.

This 1987 Seiko was not born to be worn but rather to be an exhibition watch to be shown to potential customers. These models did not receive a movement to prevent potential theft. Eventually as the model was discontinued this sample found its way to a storage room to be forgotten about for decades. Three decades later this watch would be picked up by a watchmaker and allowed to be given a proper life.

This watch is now powered by a sourced Seiko 5Y30 movement which corresponds to the movement that this watch model should have had. This movement offers great accuracy and hacking for precise time-setting.

Housing this watch is a near new condition.

Size: 24mm width (25mm with crown), 28mm length, 5mm height, bracelet size of 7 ½”.

Due to the bracelet design this watch is recommended for wrist sizes of 7”. If your wrist is smaller, a watchmaker can trim the bracelet.

Condition: In good condition though the dial does have some bumps near the left top corner, the price has been reduced.

This watch comes with a 90-day limited mechanical warranty

The warranty does not cover damage inflicted post delivery.
